Honors undeserved

Shame on Judson University for honoring the reprehensible Milorad Dodik, a man who is corrupt, divisive, a denier of war crimes and one who has been sanctioned for these actions by both the US and UK. And to add insult to injury, Judson invited the convicted criminal former governor, Rod Blagojevich, to the World Leaders Forum. It is a slap in the face to everyone who believes in democracy, justice, the rule of law and Christian principles — to say nothing of those who survived the Balkan genocide — to honor such a horrible person and to accept the former governor into polite society. It appears that officials from the World Leaders Forum and Judson University leaders need to brush up on their studies of the US Constitution and Sacred Scripture as they have obviously not internalized the messages promulgated in these writings.
